Mitsubishi sold two trucks named Montero at the same time from 2001 through 2004, the full size Montero and the smaller Montero Sport, and they do not share parts. A 2001 Mitsubishi Montero front wheel bearing replacement on the full size truck is a hub assembly, HA590145, while the Sport keeps a serviceable front end. Identifying the truck comes before anything else.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
The name overlaps, but the full size Montero and the Montero Sport share no wheel bearing listing at either end.
Identify the actual truck first, then match the year. Never assume Sport parts fit the Montero or the reverse.
This page covers the 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Montero wheel bearing page.
Year by year
The full size Montero’s hub numbers hold steady across all six years, 2001 through 2006: HA590145 front, HA590039 rear. A 2001 Mitsubishi Montero front wheel bearing replacement in year one looks identical to one in 2006.
The Montero Sport only appears on this page for 2001 through 2004. Its front and rear serviceable parts do not change within that window.
Two trucks, one name
Mitsubishi ran the full size Montero and the Montero Sport side by side for several years. The full size truck takes hub units at both ends, while the Sport stays serviceable. The Sport’s front bearings get repacked rather than pressed in.
The Sport’s rear also depends on whether the truck has a locking differential. That single detail decides between the two rear listings.
Diagnosing a Mitsubishi Montero wheel bearing
- Identify the truck first. Confirm whether it is the full size Montero or the Montero Sport before pulling any part numbers.
- Listen for a hum at speed. A worn hub or bearing set tends to get louder as road speed climbs on either truck.
- Check for play at the wheel. With the truck supported and the wheel off the ground, rock it top and bottom; see how to check a wheel bearing.
- Rule out tire wear. Cupped tires can mimic a bearing hum on either truck; see tire noise or wheel bearing.
- On a Sport, confirm the locking differential. That single detail decides which rear listing applies.
